good morning to you. welcome to "early start." aim zoraida sambolin. >> i'm ashleigh banfield. it's 5:00 a.m. in the east and 10:00 a.m. in london. live pictures to bring you from london. this is a climax of a weekend of events marking the queen's diamond jubilee all getting underway in london. we're getting ready for a service called the thanksgiving service at st. paul's cathedral. the motorcade is filled with the junior members of the royal family. they're the first to depart their various palaces. they're going to arrive shortly at st. paul's. at the same time, the senior members of the royal family will be getting ready to leave for st. paul's cathedral as well. at 5:15 eastern time the queen herself will leave buckingham palace for st. paul's. remember, the duke of edinboro won't be with her. he's in the hospital under observation. she'll be on her own.

she's expected to take 13 minutes. she'll arrive at 5:28 a.m. eastern time. two minutes later because you just don't have to wait if you're the queen, at 5:30 a.m. eastern time the service of thanksgiving beginnings. that should go for an hour. at 6:30 the queen is scheduled to leave st. paul's. she's got a busy day. she'll head off to two different recessions and a lunch at west ministers with her sons, grandsons. carriage ride all throughout london as well where the streets will be lined. eventually the queen will end up back at buckingham palace where she'll be greeted by crowds. she's expected to make one appearance. you come out on the balcony, wave. the crowds go wild. it's like a curtain call. depending how wild the crowds are, that's how many appearances they'll make. that all happens about five hours from now, 10:00 a.m.

the celebration tempered by the absence of the queen's husband, prince philip. he's in the hospital with a bladder infection. last night some of the biggest names performed for the queen who came prepared with ear plugs. brooke baldwin is co anchoring our coverage. she is live at buckingham palace. let's start with prince philip. how is he doing this morning? >> reporter: i'm told he is okay. i'm told though that he is just absolutely sickend that he can't be alongside his wife, her majesty, for this huge, huge day. certainly one of the biggest of her lifetime and certainly of her rein. i do want to mention we are waiting for the queen to leave the palace. the reason we know the queen is home for now is that huge flag flying above buckingham palace. that's the royal standard flag. that means she is home. shortly she will be in a limo. here's some news. since her husband, prince philip, duke of edinboro is in hospital because of that bladder

infection, we now know she will be accompanied to st. paul's cathedral with her lady in waiting. it's a good frent, confidante, someone who can speak on behalf of the queen. they will be traveling to st. paul's cathedral this morning for that thanksgiving service. afterward there will be a reception at the mansion house followed by a trip to westminster hall. this is all part of the house of parliament. it's the oldest building. goes back 900 years here in london. that's where she'll be holding a luncheon. the guest list, some 700 people. afterward we have learned since again her husband has fallen ill, she will be in that carriage hopefully the rain will not start then and she will be in that 1902 carriage alongside the prince of whales, her son charles and camilla. >> who gets invited to this?

>> reporter: great question. who gets invited to st. paul's? members of the congregation. she is very, very involved with a number of charities here in the u.k. and also throughout the commonwealth. from what i understand, members of those particular charities. they're the ones who get the big invite to that reception afterwards. and then, you know, reading into who in the world gets to be part of this thanksgiving service at westminster hall. that 700 or so guest list. those are people, it's actually thrown by the livery here in london. those are uniform city workers. people participating in this diamond jubilee, this long weekend extravaganza. that's part of the luncheon. anyone just walking here this morning, you're hearing all different languages, people from all around the world. i'm sure the commonwealth and beyond gets to line this procession route that travels through the main trajectories through london passing by the

square, going under admird mir at this arch. you saw the concert with the tens of thousands of people. that's who will see her this morning making her way to the balcony. this balcony in person is way bigger than it looks on television, zoraida. >> the pictures are amazing. we're looking forward to your continued coverage. if you are wondering who or when the white houses will fall, watch what happens in wisconsin today. for the third time in u.s. history a governor is facing a recall vote. scott walker, a union busting fiscal conservative anti-party darling is fighting to keep his job against milwaukee mayor, tom barrett. the outcome could set the tone for november. >> since i've been sworn as your governor wisconsin has added, added more than 30,000 new jobs and we're not done yet.

>> people want to have a change. they want a governor who can run the state. they're tired about a governor who is a rock star to the far wiet. they want someone to create jobs for the middle class. >> the latest polls show governor walker has a slight edge over barrett in what is expected to be a very, very tight race. not much drama left, but voters are heading to the polls today in five different states, california, montana, new jersey, new mexico, and south dakota are all holding their primaries. yes, folks, the primaries are still ongoing. something of an afterthought now that mitt romney has passed that magic number and clinched the republican nomination. five tsa workers have been fired and 38 others suspended at southwest international airport in fort myers. this is one of the largest disciplinary actions ever taken in the ten-year history of the

lawyers' request to delay the trial any further so set to go this morning. let's bring in cnn contributor sarah gannon. she won a pulitzer prize for covering the story. let's get to the issue of the fact that this thing is playing out in the community where it started. there will be no jurors bussed in which is somewhat unusual. >>. >> reporter: at this point, that's what the judge says. he's going to try to get a jury from center county where this took place. the prosecutors wanted the trial to be held in the courthouse behind me here in center county, in belfont, where these alleged crimes are alleged to have taken place. jerry sandusky is the one who wanted jurors from this county. prosecutors wanted to bring in jurors from somewhere else in pennsylvania thinking they would have less tie, less of a financial tie or an emotional tie to penn state university. they estimated a couple of

months ago that one in every three people who live in this county have some kind of tie to penn state so they thought it would be easier to find a jury somewhere else. when jerry sandusky fought against that, the judge sided with him. they're going to start and try this morning to find 12 jurors and four alternates in center county. >> that could be a tricky endeavor, but certainly not impossible. one of the developments this week which some people found unnerving was that the judge has ruled that the ten victims in this case cannot remain anonymous. names are going to be in open court. they are going to appear in open court more than likely. but are they expected to show up during the jury selection? >> reporter: no. we don't expect any of them to be here. in fact, when the judge made that ruling he specifically said that they were going to do everything they could to shield their identities except when they take the stand, but that included in jury selection that they were going to try to keep their identities a secret right up until the time that they

choose to take the stand and testify against jerry sandusky. it will be a fascinating case no matter what, sara thanks for being with us. we have live pictures for you as britain's four day june by lace draws to a close. this hour they will attend a service of thanksgiving. later a carriage procession through the streets of london. also making news today, voters in wisconsin heading to the polls in less than three hours deciding whether to boot the republican governor, scott walker, out of office just after 18 months from his election or keep him there. the union busting tea party darling is a slight favorite at this point to hold off tom barrett in a recall vote that could predict the outcome of the presidential election in november. after being sent back to jail for lying about his finances, george zimmerman has seen a spike in donations to his defense fund.

good morning, milwaukee. it is a balmy 55 degrees as you are waking up this morning. warming up to almost room temperature, 68, which is great for a vote, isn't it? you always hope that there's good weather on polling day, and that's the case in milwaukee today. all over wisconsin hopefully too. the polls are opening in two hours in that state in what many people are considering a dry run for the november election. republican governor, scott walker, who broke the state's unions in a very tight recall

race today against democratic challenger, the milwaukee mayor, tom bare ret. our ted rollins is live in madison, wisconsin. i heard john king say yesterday, as goes wisconsin so could possibly the country which is why we're all watching the state race so closely. tell me why it's so significant, ted. >> reporter: well, first of all, it would be if walker loses his job. only the third time in u.s. history that a sitting governor loses his job because of a recall. you mentioned the money being poured into the state. 60 million. most of that is coming from out of state. basically it's coming from people that want to destabilize unions or support unions. walker slashed union rights with his budget reform bill. walker claims that this is all to help the bottom line here in wisconsin. his opponent, tom barrett, says it's a plan to erode the middle class. both candidates were on the road yesterday trying to make that final push to voters in

wisconsin. >> since i've been sworn as your governor, wisconsin has added, added more than 30,000 new jobs and we're not done yet. >> people want a governor. they don't want a governor who's a rock star to the far right. they want someone to create jobs for the middle class in the state. >> reporter: and actually obviously what happens in wisconsin could be replicated in other states, that's why the stakes are so high here and why people have been pouring millions of dollars into wisconsin. the theory would be that if walker hangs on to his job, other states could replicate what he's done here in wisconsin and on the contrary side, if he loses his job, it would be a powerful message from unions to say, hey listen, other governors don't try what happened in

wisconsin or you'll lose your job just like scott walker. >> the polling, ted, so far suggests that scott walker is coming into this in a position of strength not to mention the fact that he's been getting a better slice of that money. >> reporter: yeah. he's outspent his opponent nearly 5 to 1. he's come up with 30 million on his own as opposed to barrett who's in 3 to 4 million. the polls have shown that he has a lead coming into today. that lead has eroded a little bit with the latest poll. you're looking at a 3 to 4 percentile lead. you factor in of course the margin of error. both sides agree that turnout is going to be the key here. so that's why there's been a huge push for turnout on both sides and both candidates are out again today trying to push that turnout. >> if they get as many people out at the polls as they had in those sit-ins last year, it will be a busy day. ted rowlands, thanks very much. 47 minutes past the hour.

>> reporter: the duitch chess o cambridge is wearing alexander mcqueen. but look at camilla. kate and camilla are in golds, beiges. in other words, today no bright reds, nok sparkling colors to detract from the queen. the queen is in the bright colors. the queen is the one we can see. of course, the queen's dress, by the way, i know you want to know, is made by her personal dressmaker, angela kelly, been with the queen for a number of years. she's made all the dresses for diamond jubilee. she's in-house, you might say, so she knows exactly to the "t" what the queen needs to get the best effect, the best pictures for today. >> you may have corrected me there. i thought this was an alexander mcqueen outfit she's wearing. that's the designer but the

dressmaker makes it or was it not mcqueen? >> reporter: no, no, the duchess of cambridge wearing alexander mcqueen. no, no, it's angela kelly. believe me, she's one of the few people allowed to touch the queen who obviously get close enough. you can hardly design and touch somebody if you don't get close to them. anyway, the queen's outfit have been exemplary over the last three days and all designed to send that message that the queen is the center of all the celebrations. >> richard quest, you're doing a heck of a job. we're watching the live pictures inside st. paul's cathedral so we can't pan the audience at will. we'll get a good look at them as we continue to cover this, richard, and they leave the cathedral, probably about 25 minute or so and then make their way through the various proceed is sessions throughout london and the various events richard

football coach jerry sandusky is to start today. he's accused of sexually abusing ten boys over ten year. the judge requested his lawyers' request to delay the trial. let's bring in shaara ganno. i want to begin with that judge ruling yesterday that the alleged victims' identities may not be concealed during the trial. that's going to be very difficult for them because of the graphic details. >> right. their attorneys are very disappointed but the majority of the ones we talked to said their clients are ready to go forward, they're ready to take the stand. didn't want to pursue an appeal of that ruling because of the potential, it might delay a trial. instead they want to get up there, tell their story and get this over. >> lots talk about jury selection happening today. there's a lot of passion surrounding this school.

>> that's right. and prosecutors actually wanted to bus in potential jurors from another county. jerry sandusky fought that and the judge agreed with jerry sandusky. he gave him what he wanted. they're going to try to pick jurors from center county but if that does not work, they may have to look for a jury. prosecutors said back a couple months ago, about a third of the people in this county have some kind of tie to penn state, whether or not they work there, have a spouse that works there or a child who goes to school there. they have some kind of, in some way, financial tie to penn state university. because penn state is such a big part of this case, so many of the alleged acts are alleged to have occurred on campus, penn state, it's been known as the penn state scandal, prosecutors thought it would be better to bring in jurors from other places in pennsylvania. but jerry sandusky wanted this

to be a center county trial. wanted jurors from center county, where he lives, to decide his fate. >> how long are they expecting this jury selection to take? >> well, that's kind of up in the air. i think everyone is hoping maybe by the start of next week they could be hearing opening statements, but it's really a question this morning of whether or not this is going to happen here at all. whether or not they can find these jurors, and hopefully by the end of the week they'll know if they can find 12 jurors and 4 alternates. >> sara ganim, thank you for that report this morning. 15 minutes past 6:00 on the east coast. police in canada looking into more crimes that may have been committed by a self-proclaimed porn star accused of a grisly murder. luca was caught yesterday thanks to an international manhunt, arrested at an internet cafe in berlin where he told the

♪ you are live in london at this moment at the national service of thanksgiving to celebrate the diamond jubilee of her majesty, the queen there, 60 years ruling. it's a spectacular celebration that's been going on for quite some time. it culminates with this service. i believe they're going to be there for about ten more minutes before that service ends. the music has been spectacular, the prayers are been amazing. everyone in the monarchy present for the celebration except for her husband, who is in the hospital with a bladder infection. yesterday we thought that perhaps he would check himself out of the hospital so he could be by her side. so, that is the only person missing this morning. in about ten minutes, the queen will make her procession back down that aisle into the car.

she will depart to the mansion house. she's going to head along the same route, which we imagine is lined with people trying to get a glimpse and to honor her and celebrate this day with her. and she will be having lunch there with her family. and then the festivities will continue after that. we're going to be monitoring this all morning for you. it really is just a spectacular celebration. soledad is also going to dip into the celebrations taking place today. these are live pictures for you, st. paul's cathedral, celebrating the diamond jubilee of her majesty, the queen. >> just got a nice look at the duchess of cambridge's hat. >> we've been talking about that. >> i'm a total nerd. i heard the duchess of cornwall's hat was too large, camilla. we're also going to touch base with richard quest as well, who's -- >> he's a hoot. >> -- just doesn't get better. stock futures indicating the markets supposed to open lower again this morning.

losing steam. so is china. that's really the bulk of the reason you're seeing prices fall. we talked about $4 a gallon gas, $5 gallon of gas around this time, not seeing that because of the weak economies. economies losing steam. also supplies are plentiful right now. oil and gas supplies are at their highest since 1990s. that fear premium we saw around this time last year because iran was threatening to close the strait of homuz, those threats are easing, so you're seeing that fear premium come off the price of oil as well. you know, there's a trade off. we to want see lower gas prices because it means less money coming out of our pockets but we don't want to see the economy lose momentum either. >> let's switch to the mba factor. where do they to want take a job these days? >> first guess. take a guess. >> i would have said google. >> google and why not? google perks. those who have mbas say they want to work at google and say,

a flyover at buckingham palace, where the awesome balcony shot, with the royals lined up, while the throngs of british line up, and they come out for a curtain call. all of this follow this star-studded concert last night featuring sir paul mccartney, sir elton john and a litany of phenomenal musicians. cnn's richard quest has been following all of the events from the get go as they've been leading up to this incredible diamond jubilee celebration. he's live at buckingham palace. richard, that's where the queen is headed now as we watch her live leaving the cathedral getting ready to step into her 19 02 landaue. >> reporter: first thing's first, you two are secret monarchists. listening to you, don't you

thanksgiving service. it is that care to get all sides together that is really what is making this such a unique experience. for you watching in america, for me being here in london, and basically for everyone involved. >> richard, i want to ask you as we watch the archbishop and queen descending the steps of st. paul's, we just saw her with this massive grin on her face. i have to be honest with you, for all the years i've watched this monarch, you know, she's been described as somewhat studgy, with a firm look about her -- >> reporter: careful, careful. >> even at the concert. i can hear prince charles saying, mummy. but every so often when you see that smile, it's something remarkable, isn't it? >> reporter: it is. and i think the fact you don't see it every day, that lighting up, that magnificent smile. there's a reason she doesn't do it all the time. that's not what she does.

she is not a glad-handing, smiling politicians who's about to go out and kiss a baby, because she needs your support in three years' time. this is the queen. and she carries the weight of the state. and she carries the weight of history and of tradition. that's what she does. but she knows that on an occasion like today, her role and her duty is to embody the nation. and that sul of a sudden -- what's interesting, is that you'll get these little moments. something will tickle her, catch her attention. it was the war horse on the pageant. and then she'll light up all of a sudden. when you see it, you really -- it really is a glorious moment. >> i'm just waiting for you to be knighted. i hope i get an invitation, richard quest. it's good to see you. thanks for doing the duty. we'll check in with you -- >> reporter: you will have -- you will have to -- you will have to buy a seriously big hat. >> i will.
